  The state power that proclaims consensual reality has forgotten that the world wide web is based on co-ordination, not subordination. On the face of it, the whole of Digitalia seemed to have been designed to restrain and alienate the average citizen: the slick advertising, the easily verifiable credit cards, the Eurodisc, the databases and the unprocessable mass of information all exemplify this. We could also concoct fanciful conspiracy theories, with supranational organisations, mysterious banking networks, industrial groups, drug bars, travelling super-agents, politicians acting as puppets. The techno-luddites go further: The Internet is about checks and balances at their most complete. "Big Cyber is watching you!" – proclaim the paraphrased Orwellian idea.
Ferenc Kömlődi, 1999
